New Connector Free Use Periodlink
Once your 14-day free account trial has ended and your account is active, every connector that you create in your dashboard has 14 days of use at no cost. This 14-day free use period automatically applies to all new connectors, irrespective of their type. You can have multiple new connector free use periods running simultaneously in your account.
NOTE: No MAR from a connector that is active within the free use period will contribute to your credit usage during those 14 days.
MAR and credit usage estimatelink
We provide a MAR and credit usage estimate during the free use period so that you can see what your new connectors may cost. After the first seven continuous days of the connector's activity within one month, you will receive an estimate of your monthly MAR (monthly active rows) and credit usage for the connector. For example, you create a connector on September 29. Your estimate will not be available until October 7 because, while you are nine days into the free use period, you are only seven days into the month. The monthly usage estimate calculation is based on the new connector's first seven continuous days of activity within one month and your credit consumption rate for the last month.
NOTE: We strongly advise that you do not pause a connector during the free use period because if you do, we will have not enough consumption data to provide an estimate in a timely manner.
View free use status in Fivetranlink
On the Status page of your Fivetran dashboard, you can see general information about the free use period in the free use period chart. This chart can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the arrow-down or arrow-up button, respectively.
The free use period chart displays the following information:
- The daily MAR numbers during the free use period are displayed as a bar chart. Hover over each bar to see the date and the MAR number for the relevant day of the free use period.
- The free use period end date.
- The number of days left until the end of the free use period.
- The monthly MAR and credits usage estimates, available after seven continuous days of use within one month. These seven days are used to gather the daily MAR and credit usage data we require to calculate the estimates. If your estimate is not ready yet, this field displays the number of days before the estimate is available.
- A Keep this connector running after the free use period toggle that lets you either keep your connector running after the free use period or pause it once the free use period is over.
Limitationslink
You get one 14-day free use period per destination schema name and connector type pairing. For example, let's say you create a new Jira connector and name its destination schema test
. Once its 14-day free use period is over, you delete the connector. If you create another Jira connector with the destination schema name test
, that connector will not qualify for 14 days of free use.
